I'm outside and at first light the only bird I hear is some neighbor's chicken. It's the time of year where all the birds pause, molt and fatten up for migration.
I guess that's what's happening.
-oooo-
A Red-shouldered Hawk just called.
And there's a cardinal!
Finally, signs of bird life.
The other morning, a mixed flock of small birds delighted me, so migration is coming.
I need to go find a Louisiana waterthrush.
Some birds are still breeding. I found nests for the local "Poule d'eau", Common gallinule, and Purple gallinule.
Two eggs in this Mourning dove nest, the 4th brood in this parking garage this season that i know about. The Carolina wrens are showing off another brood of recently fledged young.
Fall is almost here, so I remember the world changes.
